Main guidelines according my view:

1. – Modernize all Su-25 up to the most modern Russian standard.
2. – Phase-out all Su-24.

3. Unfortunately there is no much material to exchange with Russia for the benefit of Ukrainian Air Force.

1. Russian frogfoot are standard, what is modernized there ?
2. why ?
3. there is material Russia needs that is *moooney* 😉

what is the ‘substantially reduced radar signature’ means ? S-duct ? I dont see any new geometry there that reduce radar signature :confused:

buy Mi-17 would solve that problem 😎

Interesting, they are quite bold with the 2015 date… But then again this is marketing…

a decade ago they were quite bold with 2007 first flight date….;)

Personally I …? 🙂

good assesmnt 🙂

Because the most feared fighter in the Gulf War was the Mig-29 🙂

People get exited by airshows, and turn rate comparisons, there are more important things for air combat, no, i’m not talking about radar or sensor fusion..or electronic magic 🙂

The 25/31 was/is a threat for any ‘teen’ fighter, actually it was/is a ‘teen’ killer.

Neither the mig-29, su-27,or the T-50 will finish the 25/31 legacy

That aircraft is way too important

iirc in Gulf War MiG-25 found to be superior compared to MiG-29, shooting an F-18 and escaping the pursuing F-15….

Could you pls show me a source to that statement?

First of all the NAPO are in no condition to manufact an export version Su-34 and at the same time forfilling the RuAF procurment..

Second, i have never come across any reports that suggest that the Su-34 are open for export.

Thanks

RIA Novosti,

NOVOSIBIRSK: The introduction of Russia’s latest fighter-bomber into active service with the country’s air force will make the plane more attractive on global export markets, the head of the corporation producing the aircraft said Thursday.

“Widespread use of the Su-34 following its purchase by the Russian Air Force will boost sales on external arms markets,” Sukhoi holding Director General Mikhail Pogosyan said.

It is designed to replace the Su-24 Fencer frontline bombers in the Air Force.
